Overwatch developer Blizzard Entertainment announced through a video on YouTube that through a future update the game will support cross-platform play. However, cross-progression on all available platforms may still take some time to arrive. Players will need to create a Battle.net account to enable cross-platform play.
Blizzard Entertainment is launching a cross-play beta for Overwatch that’ll allow players on PC and the console versions of the game on Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch to play matches together for the first time.
Overwatch Is Getting A Cross-Play Beta On PS4, Xbox, Switch, And PC
The launch date for Overwatch s cross-play beta has not been announced.
Cross-play is officially coming to Overwatch, with Blizzard confirming that a cross-play beta will be available before a full rollout. The feature will be supported across all versions of the game (PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4/PS5, and Xbox One/Xbox Series X|S) and comes as part of a broader launch of a global Battle.net.
Players will only be able to participate in Overwatch cross-play after creating a Battle.net account and linking it to their various console accounts. Naturally, this doesn t apply to PC players who have been playing the game through the Battle.net launcher since it was released in 2016; console players will need to link or set one up regardless of their desire to use cross-play. The addition of cross-play was likely the big feature Overwatch game director Aaron Keller teased recently. Blizzard has set up a page on its website
